- A NY Times (eric135/eric135) article about how it's as important to prepare psychologically for retirement as it is to fund your 401k or IRAs. Hell no. I'm ready psychologically.
- Athletic trainers see rise in MRSA Infections.
- A very weird exercise video. Obviously CGI but still oddly hypnotic. They need to make one with kitties. No idea what the hell is going on in this exercise video, but I laughed so hard I snorted like a pig.
- On January 12 2007, Joshua Bell played a 43-minute concert at the L'Enfant Plaza, one of the stops on Washington DC's metro. It was an unannounced free mall-side concert given by one of the best (probably the best) violin virtuosos ever. He played on a 1710 Stradivari. JS Bach's Chaconne, Schubert's Ave Maria, and other masterpieces ended... to thunderous silence. He made $32 in change, after 1070 people rushed by, few even looking his way. He usually makes about $1000 per minute. You can hear him for a short while in the video clip in the middle of the article.
- Dementia Care costs worldwide reach $315 billion.
- A list of things to make your offline life easier. My favorite, of course, is to not feel ashamed to use a ManPurse. I have several. Unlike the author of the article, I don't think backpacks count.
- Now they're saying that glucosamine and chondroitin may not offer any real benefits. I've been taking a supplement (the pills are so big I had to check the label to make sure they weren't suppositories). I think they have increased my flexibility, and it has been a long time since I've had a flair up. Figures. Next thing you know, they'll be telling us that there are problems with Ambien... Oh, wait...
P.S. About the second video: Why is Judith Light looking like she's about to take a giant poop in someone's living room?

I love the subtitle of the video: "For being appraised an ex-fat girl". I'm not ashamed to admit that I snorted, too.
